About our BBQ catering in Hackbridge
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. We’re frequently asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and fundraising barbecues, with beef brisket, beef burgers and coleslaw.
London gardens around Hackbridge are often small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

About the food
Beef brisket

Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on site by our chef
See our pricing and BBQ menu ideas.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Who books BBQ catering in Hackbridge?
You enjoy the barbecue instead of cooking it
Hosts in Hackbridge book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. For example:
- Neighbourhood parties
- Retirement do’s
- Relaxed weddings and evening receptions
- Summer staff days
Parks such as Cranmer Green frequently have rules on barbecues, so check with the council or landowner first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Any travel or access charges
- A clear list of what’s included
- The full menu and the sides
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. In Hackbridge, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hackbridge
What’s the nearest station to Hackbridge?
Mitcham Eastfields station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue in Cranmer Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
What meats do you barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
As a London location, Hackbridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
